Last week I finished When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi, and I am currently working on the fourth book in the Chequey Series by Daniel O’Malley, Royal Gambit.
The Chequey Series started with The Rook, and I’ve been reading every book as it comes out. I enjoy the whole series, but it can be controversial because not everybody agrees with its structure, as each book doesn’t directly follow the characters of the one before, but instead tells another story with different characters who interact in the same world. They slightly overlap at some point.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately??
With regards to Bingo, I’m provisionally planning to use When the Moon Hits Your Eye for the square New Release and Royal Gambit for the square Political, but they may drop off or be changed as time goes on.

How did you like the When the Moon Hits Your Eye?
Finished The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. The last half went by pretty quickly.
Anyone who hasn’t read it yet, I would recommend reading it after reading couple of Stormlight Archive books. You can still read it without that, but some of the thing probably won’t be clear.
Bingo Squares: 5E Jerk with a Heart of Gold maybe. Not sure if it qualifies.
It was a struggle for me. I really generally like his stuff quite a lot. The cast of characters is quite big and you get chapters from each of their perspectives. So it reads like a series of short stories.
I have issues with short story anthologies because I didn’t build up any momentum. I enjoy them, it’s just more of a slog for me to get through.
